What’s happening Detroit? This week on The Progressive Undergound, my Pick of the Week comes from Carmen Johnson — aka Sillygirlcarmen — a promoter, producer, singer and DJ.

Johnson is a globetrotter, introducing notable venues everywhere to her brand of electronica steeped in the aesthetic and vibe of Detroit’s rich history with electronic music. She has a new single in collaboration with internationally-renowned DJ and producer Hallex M coming out March 14.

The pairing has produced a track that is sure to light up dance floors around the world. Let’s check out the track “Cold & Lonely” — my Pick of the Week.

“Cold & Lonely” officially releases on Friday March 14, 2025. Listen to a preview on Sillygirlcarmen’s Instagram or use the media player above to hear the full track.
